Atlanta Hawks FACTA Receipt Settlement Notes

Moskowitz v. ATL Hawks LLC

Case No. 2017CV288354

Pending in the Superior Court of Fulton County, State of Georgia

Plaintiff Craig Moskowitz initiated this class action lawsuit against ATL Hawks LLC, alleging the Hawks violated a federal law known as the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA) by printing on customer receipts the expiration date of customers’ credit card or debit card.

Passed by the United States Congress in 2003, FACTA includes several additional protections for consumers against identity theft. The provision that applies to the Atlanta Hawks FACTA receipt class action lawsuit requires businesses to truncate printed payment card receipts so that the consumer’s full account number and expiration date is not viewable on the sales receipt.

The ATL Hawks disputes the class action allegations and denies that it willfully violated FACTA.

Under the terms of the Atlanta Hawks FACTA receipt settlement, the Hawks have agreed to pay $250K to resolve all claims. Class administration expenses, attorneys’ fees, court costs, and plaintiff service awards, if any, will be deducted from the settlement fund with the remainder (estimated up to $100) to be paid to class members who submit a timely and valid claim form.

Class members who wish to exclude themselves or object to the terms of the settlement must do so by Feb. 2, 2018. Additionally, Class members who wish to object to the class representative’s motion for an incentive award or to class counsel’s request for attorneys’ fees, and court costs will need to do so by April 2, 2018. Class members who wish to submit a claim for up to $100 must do so by June 8, 2018.
